The Happiness of the Katakuris, Sleepwalkers, Reality Terror Night and From a Whisper to a Scream

October Horror Movie Challenge Day 3

The Happiness of the Katakuri (2001)

Why I Watched:

You'll Never Check Out theme night

Musical / Rock ‘n Roll Horror
Japanese

What I Learned:

• 2 minutes in and this is some weird shit.
• Dead body . . . and they're singing
• I'm scared. Let's dance. Oh, and sing some more while we bury this body. Because that's what people do.
• Dude professes love having never spoken to her. Like middle school. Then dancing. Unlike middle school.
• Best dancing zombies since Thriller

Rating:

Sleepwalkers (1992)

Why I Watched:

Based on a Novel

Cinema Inspired By: Stephen King

What I Learned:

• Ohh, one of those carpet broom roller things my grandmother had. You just don't see those things anymore
• My grandmother never danced with her carpet broom like that, though.
• Ok, this mother/son dynamic got super gross real quick
• Incest isn't sexy. Why are you trying to make it sexy?
•  If a guy tries to kill you, you do not feel bad for him when you hurt him. Stop it. Idiot.
• Cat and cop scene may be the saddest thing I've ever seen. 
• Holy hell, is that Ron Perlman??
• These cat people are phenomenal with convenient weaponry
• Some kick ass Enya music in this movie.

Reality Terror Night (2013)

Why I Watched:

I thought it sounded awesome (spoiler: I was wrong)

What I Learned:

• Nipple close-up 2 minutes in, then blood splashing the screen as if they forgot to turn the 3d on. I'm worried
• "The real 411 was 2M2H." Ugh, things are going downhill fast.
• Babes & Ghosts - Sadly, I think this could actually have an audience in the real world
• Do men really get out of the car and shake their hair like women in conditioner commercials?
• A stripper pole makes it a party bus. Those are the rules.
• Apparently, you can only hunt for ghosts in bikinis.
• My mistake - clubwear, not bikinis. They're hunting ghosts in clubwear. 
• Oops, wrong again. Clubwear for publicity photos, bikinis for ghost hunting. Duh. 
• Blink and you missed it kills are boring. Where is the terror?
• Wow, that was awful
